Overview

Day-to-day monitoring is where AML programmes succeed or fail

Regulators do not just ask whether you have a monitoring system. They ask whether its rules match your risks, whether alerts are reviewed on time and whether investigations are thorough and well recorded. A growing alert backlog is one of the clearest red flags a reviewer can find.

Hilix runs the daily monitoring work for you. We review alerts against customer profiles and expected activity, investigate patterns across accounts, document conclusions and escalate suspicious activity. Alongside the queue, we analyse alert outcomes to tune thresholds and add scenarios for emerging typologies.

FAQ

Transaction Monitoring Services: common questions

Can you work with our monitoring system?

Yes. We work inside your existing platform, whether a vendor tool or an in-house solution, and can also review rules held in spreadsheets or SQL.

How do you decide whether an alert is suspicious?

We compare the activity to the customer’s profile, expected behaviour, history and known typologies, then document why the activity is explained or why it needs escalation.

Do you file SARs for us?

We prepare the investigation and draft the report. The decision to file, and the filing itself, stays with your MLRO or nominated officer as regulation requires.
